Come watch a documentary

The Vail Dance Festival invites the community to a free film screening of âRestless Creature: Wendy Whelanâ on Monday at Vail Mountain School at 6 p.m. Featured at the New York Film Festival and now playing around the U.S., this documentary stars former principal ballerina at New York City Ballet for 30 years, Wendy Whelan. The film covers the realities of life after ballet super stardom, one that all professional athletes can relate to and must eventually face. Complimentary food and beverages will be provided before the film at 5:30 p.m. Admission is free. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Marc Philippon and guests. The event is sponsored by the Steadman Clinic and Steadman Philippon Research Institute.

The graduates of Vail Mountain School’s class of 2019 will be off to far-flung destinations next fall, set to enter college in one of 16 different states or explore the world on a gap year. One grad is even attending college in Canada.
